[chimoaus]

Great try all from the messy ruck where Aaron was offside.

Our tight five already slow getting up off the ground...

In particular the locks

is this a surprise to anyone on the fern lol

[Frank]

Fuck, they were making meters at will.

[KiwiMurph]

Our soak defence once again......

[Tim]

Way too easy. Very passive defense. Same as the last 5 years.

Great to see them competing at the lineouts, just like 19

Tight six you mean. Went through our pack pretty easily.

I assumed that a Crusader playing blindside is invisible by definition...

Big difference early - Jordie Barrett kicks the ball away on phase 4. Ireland go 18 phases and score a try. No patience.

Watching Retallick get up, look around, start walking then turn on a slow jog around ten metres out from his own tryline is a bit of a slap in the face.

[Steven Harris]

Brilliant start from the visitors

[Toddy]

Really nice build up and try there. Regularly getting over the advantage line and quick ruck ball. Good to watch.

[Mattasaurus]

Scott Barrett and Bower with good tackles...

Good try Ireland,

[mariner4life]

Good try!!

The little in and out passes tore us up. Great ball retention.

Our pillar and post didn't get set once

SBarrett with a beautiful tackle in there though

[gt12]

If you have a pack full of geriatrics, I’m not sure big efforts on D will be a strength.

[Machpants]

Not seen anything new at all

He's been living on reputation for a while now. Particularly on TSF.

[gt12]

And we kick it away straight away, and don’t chase, and we’ve lost the territory battle, again,

[chimoaus]

So are we going to see BB kick away all our possession?

I dunno. I think the Barrett game of outdoing each other with shit kicking is new.
